The Beat Generation

For the paper on Chapters 6 & 7 that is due (soon!) I picked up a book called "Women of the Beat Generation: The Writers, Artists and Muses at the Heart of a Revolution" by Brenda Knight. I chose to focus on a female artist from this time period for my "lesser known" artist because women at this point in history were still highly undervalued as artists and writers. I read Ginsberg and Kerouac as a teenager and loved there stuff but never really questioned if there were female beat writers at the time and this book explores quite a few of them. I highly recommend it!
